Just recently had a molar infection.
Not as bad as the toothache I had a couple of years back though... You just don't know what to do with yourself.
Panadol and Cuprofen helped. Also clove oil locally applied to the area does a decent job of alleviating the acuteness of the pain.

6 hours standing up in A&E one night after injuring my back at our Karate dojo. Baisc cramp down my entire right side from arm pit to heel.
The triage nurse decided a sports injury was self inflicted and I could go to the back of the queue.
I still get the occassional pain in my right leg after 5 years.

My current predicament..
I've got two prolapsed discs, been like it for ages and suffered with scitic pain for the last 22years.
A couple of months back things got a whole lot worse and the pain has had me screaming out and I'm well used to it normally. One of my disc prolapses is putting so much pressure on my sciatic nerve it's unreal. My left leg is on fire inside, I have lost feeling in the left side of my foot, from below my knee on the outside of my leg and on my inner thigh. My whole leg just feels ready to cramp at any second, my left foot has collapsed over to the right, pins and needles, pain in the base of my foot and heel, can't stand on tip toe on that leg (like my brain has no control) my **** hurts from it too lol, got no ability to tense my buttock on left side and it's painful now to sit (toilet seat is a nightmare)
One of the worst bits aside from the pain is when I have an itch on my leg, I scratch where it is and it's like I'm not getting to it, I can feel the pressure from it moving my leg but the itch doesn't get scratched, it makes me feel sick.

Worst: root nerve block as the surgeon injected the root of a nerve exiting my back, it was rubbing on my spine. Lasted 10 seconds.
Longest lasting: trapped nerves in my neck. One I had lasted 6 weeks, I was so doped up on painkillers I hallucinated, but was still crying from the pain and clawed my arm so badly I ended up with blood everywhere. That was NOT fun and has resulted in permanent nerve damage

Kidney stones - 3 lots now...
I've had toothache, broke my back, broke my arm, 16 knees ops, 6 broken ribs, loads of finger/toe breaks/dislocations, dislocated my jaw, had a camera pushed up the wrong way into my bladder, etc, etc, tooth ache/dental adcess, but ... kidney stones by miles
Lots of water/ cranberry juice to avoid and believe me, you do want to avoid.
I have a female friend who has kids and has had kidney stones - so I tried her out on which was worse. She said not much in it, but kidney stones just won.

Kidney stone for me too, I was driving at the time on holiday in Cornwall when it hit me and that wasn't fun being in the outside lane of a dual carriageway. It felt like something had stabbed me in the side/back. I had no idea what it was at the time and ended up in hospital on morphine for the next 24 hours.

7mm kidney stone making it's way from my kidney to my bladder 
.
And to quote the nurse, "Love, I had kidney stones and two two kids, I'd have ten more kids but not anymore kidney stones!"

12ton bearing press exploding in my face...
Woke up on the floor of my workshop with a mouth full of blood and what felt like sand, which turned out to be three shattered teeth floating round in the blood.
I ended up with 11 stitches to my bottom lips.. glued top lip, and three emergency root canals without anesthetic!
Just had my teeth sorted properly and it cost no where near £4k, I went private had zirconia teeth put in and a crap load of other work and it came to just over £1200.

had a cyst removed off my boll*cks but before they did it it had to be drained for testing which involved a long sharp needle and no numbing of the area just straight in, the pain went from my ********* straight up through my body into my neck and it was a pain i can tell you.

1: Kidney stones without a doubt. Been hospitalised twice and had 2 ops to remove a 9mm and 13mm stone from my bladder. Surgeon went in through the old chap with a load of tools to break up and flush out the stone. I was out for the op but pain afterwards was not good, like pissing razor blades due to the inside of my chap being all split during the op.
2: Chest pains as a result of pneumonia.Very bad, thought I was dying.
3: Inner ear infection caused by water pressure build up behind my ear drum.

Following a chest operation. I was getting nasty pain spikes on my right side of my chest. Would last around 60 seconds and gradually build up to extreme pain. One day I ended up in A&E after having around 50 one after another. Was lying in toilet being sick the pain was so bad. Nerve damage was given as the reason.
